How do I switch out contents of one frame?
I'm making a web site with an expandable menu in the left frame and the usual crap in the right frame. How do I switch out the contents of the right frame *only* whenever a menu option is clicked?
Right now, a menu option calls a dupe of the home page (only with new text in the right frame). It works just fine but I'm calling a new menu as well, and when I do, it reinitializes to a closed state.
If I could switch out just the contents of the right frame, the menu (being untouched) would remain expanded and users would be able to see the list of sup-topics at all times.
Thanks - rev

Found it.
Assume you have two frames on the home page, A containing the menu, B being the content frame.
In frame B you place an iframe statement, something like this:
<iframe name="FRAME2" width="681" height="575" scrolling="yes" frameborder="0" src="intro.html"></iframe>
Assume you have two different pages of content.
src="intro.html" specifies the initial content displayed when the Home page is opened.
When you want to switch out the content of frame B, you add target= to your menu link code in frame A. i.e.
<a href="new_content.html" target="FRAMEB">New Page</a>
When the menu link is clicked, the new content is displayed in frame B.
